This is why you should never consent to DNA collection because they will just keep it and sell it later without paying you a cent.

You know what? Good. If there is something good in it they can have it. Probably not a whole lot in my case, but still, if this enables people to have better lives, let them go at it!
It's not good. They can sell it to insurance companies as well. Who might decide not to provide you with health insurance based on your genetic profile.
Yes, I agree that is not good. But that is a thing the people need to fight politically for to not be allowed. My main gripe is that OP's post sounded like screw the people who's lives that would improve because I wouldn't get paid for it.
